Who Are We? Meet the Minds Behind JumpStart Psych

Welcome to JumpStart Psych, where we’re redefining the way psychiatric education is delivered. We’re Dr. Geoff Talis and Dr. Doug Opler, two passionate psychiatrists on a mission to transform the landscape of mental healthcare.

Our commitment is simple: integrate effective psychotherapy into everyday psychiatric practice for improved patient outcomes and professional satisfaction.

We believe that psychotherapy isn’t just a luxury or an afterthought; it’s a cornerstone of efficient and impactful healthcare. In our private outpatient practices, we don’t just prescribe medications and move on. Instead, we actively engage in psychotherapy because we know that it’s essential for comprehensive care. Our approach is rooted in the belief that the best healthcare is both multidimensional and deeply personal.

This philosophy led us to co-found JumpStart Psych and create the Psychotherapy Essentials Program. Our goal is to equip healthcare professionals like you with practical, high-yield psychotherapy tools that you can start using right away. We’re not interested in theoretical fluff; we’re here to deliver actionable strategies that make a real difference in your practice. Our program focuses on teaching you the most effective psychotherapy techniques that are immediately applicable, so you can enhance your patient interactions and outcomes without wasting time on abstract concepts.

At JumpStart Psych, we emphasize skills that you can implement from day one. Whether you’re looking to deepen patient connections, increase session efficacy, or simply integrate more psychotherapy into your practice, our program provides the tools you need to achieve these goals. By focusing on practical implementation, we ensure that your learning translates directly into real-world improvements in patient care.

But don’t just take our word for it—experience the transformation for yourself. By joining the Psychotherapy Essentials Track, you’re not just enhancing your skill set; you’re becoming part of a movement toward more effective and compassionate mental healthcare.
